Request for the Ability to add links as chapters

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Thanks for the great extension.

It would be really helpful to be able to select a set of links from a page and add them all as chapters. I read a lot of Fan-Fiction and it would make life easyier when adding 20 or 30 pages to an ebook if I could simply select the all the chapter links and add them as chapters.

Thanks for the message and for the suggestion!
The problem is that, because of security restrictions (as far as I know) a web extension can only extract data from the current page. In order to add links as chapter you need a way to visit the respective page and extract data, then add it as a chapter. This could be easily done with a server utility... but it's not feasible to offer it as a 'free' service (from a lot of reasons like security, abuse and legal stuff)
I will do some research to see if there any workarounds.
Thanks.

Thanks for looking at this. It's a really nice clean extension. Another possible option would be to add "hooks" for shortcut keys, the gmail extension I have allows several shortcut keys to be set, and it would be great if I could add a page direct to the chapter option with out having to move the mouse to the menu.
